Bonnezeaux 2022

The 2022 Bonnezeaux vintage is simply superb. The year’s climatic conditions, characterized by generous sunshine and high summer temperatures, favored optimal ripening of the Chenin Blanc grapes. These factors allowed for the harmonious development of noble rot, essential for the concentration of sugars and aromas. Upon tasting, this 2022 Bonnezeaux reveals a serin yellow hue with golden reflections, a complex nose blending notes of caramelized white fruits, mango, pineapple, and a hint of candied citrus like kumquat. On the palate, elegance is evident with a suave fullness, balanced by a touch of acidity bringing freshness and vigor. Compared to other Loire appellations producing sweet wines, this vintage stands out for its finesse and remarkable balance. Rated 4.3 out of 5, it promises an interesting aging potential, evolving towards even more complex aromas over time.
